No it's not. Because we were forced to give up high-end 3 star recruits that make our class ranked higher...And lose a smaller head to head matchup because OSU's class is top heavy.
So you admit your class isn't as good of quality.
No, I mean that when you are forced to remove recruits from a class to try and give your team an advantage; you've already lost the argument. "If you remove all players but the top 3, Ohio State wins".
We already have the advantage. We have the 3rd best class in the nation when it comes to actual quality.
Happens all the time. Clemson has 14. Alabama signed 7 last year. Penn State 8. OU 10. ND 13. All top 10 classes.
Again, that's fine if OSU only had 16 spots open; they didn't'. They had over 20. You simply couldn't fill the spots you had. That's bad. That's not an advantage. A class with a single five star recruit isn't awesome because it has a great star average.
LOL hilarious. We're set to lose fewer guys this year than normal, and next year's class is loaded (we're already 5th in the nation). We're favored/heavily favored to pick up four more 5* (including the #1 overall recruit), and are in the mix for three other 5* guys, and are also heavily favored/in the mix for eight more 4* guys ranked in the top 100.
lol Maize
I'm wondering how many more underachieving seasons Harbaugh can have before recruits start realizing he's simply just a good coach and not a great or elite one. Next year is absolutely integral for them. OSU loses Urban and Haskins most likely, Penn State loses McSorely, Michigan State has obvious offensive issues. If michigan can't come through with a trip to Indy next year (they have Iowa, Michigan State, and Ohio State all at home), it's going to be a devastating blow.
I did post in one of those "if the class sizes stick" or something like that. Yes. I realize they can land more. But what we saw last year is that classes were mostly settled after the first signing day and there aren't major influxes of recruits to a team after. I don't think OSU signs 10 more players.
It isn't. Michigan is still fighting for Crouch and maybe they can get a DT. Ford is possible but at this point he might want to stay out west. Also I know you guys are almost a lock for Foskey, but what if his grades aren't up to par for you guys but are for Michigan?
He's just happy this class isn't a disaster like 2018's. We were actually really close to landing like 5 5 stars or borderline 4/5 stars.
I added more above - to summarize. OSU might land a recruit or two, but I don't think they'll get 5+ more guys to sign by then. Maybe I'm wrong. We haven't had these two signing days long enough to know the full impacts but last year classes were mostly set after the first.
